Hello MJ,
Just wanted to say:
I have been having episodic CH's for about ten years and back when I was married my wife helped me through some very rough times with CH. I am still friends with her and I could not ever properly explain to anyone how much it meant to me that she was there trying to help me when I needed it the most in my life. I was emberassed, scared, mortified, ashamed and kind of nuts when I was having CH's and I'm sure that I made an ass of myself more than a few times. She was there through all of it. Sometimes, it can be very difficult to be patient or tolerant or even react sanely to your surroundings and others when you are in severe pain. Try not to let it get to you. Your significant other could probably never adequately express how much your support means to him. However, I would bet my last dollar that it means everything to him. Please, just hang in there for him (and yourself).
Live long and prosper, Mike
